Halloween bento - only 2 months late! :P

We had re-purchased the Nightmare Before Christmas the week before I Halloween (on Blu Ray), so that gave me a little much needed inspiration :)

This was Kat's favorite movie growing up and is still a favorite of hers :)

I realized when I got the pictures off the camera that I could have done Zero w/ the daikon - Darn it! That would have been better than the skulls :( I'll have to remember if/when I do Jack again. I will likely do it again at some point considering it was really not difficult to make a sandwich into Jack Skellington :)

To keep the macaroni salad from spreading into the vegetables, and not having a food cup that was the right size and shape for this box, I used aluminum foil and created my own 'food cup'. You may have noticed that I have done this in the past, but I don't think I ever mentioned it. Foil food cups are great - I love that they are fairly inexpensive and are pliable, and very quick, but don't snub the aluminum foil for a great way to separate your moister foods - and who doesn't usually have a roll on hand? :)

About Me

I am a very happily married woman who loves food, loves to go out, loves to drink and all that loving life has added a lot of me to love ;P After chatting with a friend on FB who had wonderful results using the Whole 30/Paleo plan, I bought the book It Starts with Food for my Kindle app and read, read, read :) In a few days, I start on the journey in hopes of similar results to my friend!
